Matt and Jeremy always have fun in the noon class!
YES! It's Foodie Friday! I struggled with a recipe to share with you today because we've returned to fall after a weekend of winter. However, I know winter is coming, again, and I want to be prepared. Many of you are probably dusting off your Instant Pots and thinking about what to make for dinner. Me, too. Enjoy this easy peasy Instant Pot chicken soup recipe courtesy of the Whole Life Challenge. If you're counting your macros, be sure to weigh the amount of chicken you put in your soup bowl. Click on the image for the recipe. Happy eating! Are you strong enough to ask for help to level up?
Last week I got up on stage in front of strangers and members of our gym and admitted I need help. This was probably one of the most difficult public speaking engagements I've ever agreed to do. I don't have much fear of public speaking. I have won awards, been interviewed on TV & radio, and used to lead my squadron in PT (physical training). No, public speaking is not a problem for me. What is a problem for me? Admitting that I need help. I had just 99 seconds to convince my audience to grant me $5000 in a pitch contest sponsored by Bunker Labs. I knew I needed to make a convincing case for the money. I spent several weeks agonizing about what I would say. You see, I wanted that money so I can hire a business coach. I knew that if I asked for $5000 worth of new air assault bikes it wouldn't bring in more members or convince any of you to stay. While it would be cool to have a fleet of bikes, it's not going to make True Spirit CrossFit better. What would make True Spirit better is if I became better. I was super worried that if I admitted I need to be better, it was the same as admitting I am not good enough. Wow! talk about overthinking and getting out of my head. After a few days of meditating and journaling I realized asking for help is a sign of strength. It's all too easy to just keep things as status quo and drift into complacency. True Spirit is paying its bills, the coaches get paid, why does it need to be better? Because status quo and complacency is not the world in which I live. I live in the world of knowing what are my strengths and weaknesses. I live in the world of self-development, self-awareness and self actualization. That means I need to be strong enough to know when I need help and astute enough to know from whom I need to ask it. That's what I did last Thursday. I set aside my doubts, worries and fears that people would learn my big secret, "I don't know how to do it all by myself." Shocking, I know. I'm sure you've never felt that way. Once I realized that asking for help is the absolute best thing I can do for True Spirit CrossFit, I knew that nothing would stand in my way. I knew that I would get on stage and give the best 99 second speech of my life. I did and I won $5000. I am enrolling in the Two Brain Business mentoring program. Be on the lookout for awesome changes, new ideas, and lots of tweaking, twisting, and altering. One thing I know will not change, the amazing service you get each time you walk through our door. We are the best CrossFit gym in Bozeman, and we're about to Level UP. Get ready! Dugan showing great form in his kettlebell swing. We are halfway through our Fall Nutrition Challenges! Can you believe it? Only 3 more weeks to develop good nutrition practices and healthier lifestyle choices. Of course, you can continue to refine your nutrition practices after our challenges are over. We are giving you tools to build a overall healthier life, not just for the 6 weeks you are in the challenge. Our Macrostax challenge is to try new food. Here's the basics on this week's Macrostax challenge. The Whole Life Challenge is to do something fun! I'm all for that! The instructions are simple:
Michael Stanwick, co-founder of the Whole Life Challenge, thinks this is an important healthy lifestyle practice because: "There are things I’ve done because I thought they were cool. They appealed to my fear of being alone. There are things I’ve done because everyone else was doing them. They appealed to my need to fit in and sound good at cocktail parties. There are things I’ve done so I’d look good. They appealed to my vanity, arrogance, and need to be interesting. |
